Porsche Taycan 4S Outperforms EPA Range Estimates

The Porsche Taycan has faced a lot of criticism for underwhelming range and efficiency, but the good news is that similar to Porsche’s performance and power output figures for its internal combustion engined models, the company seems to quote quite a conservative figure for its first all-electric model range.

According to the EPA, the Porsche Taycan 4S has a range of 203 miles (325km) from a single charge, which seems quite inefficient for a brand new EV with a 79kWh battery pack. The good news for Taycan 4S owners is Inside EVs tested the vehicle in real-world conditions. Although the test vehicle had the largest optional wheels available, Using range mode with the air-conditioning switched on, the team drove the fully charged Taycan 4S, cruising at 70 mph (112kmh) and managed to cover 278 miles (447km) until the vehicle literally came to a stop in the middle of the road. An impressive effort for such a heavy, performance oriented EV.
